With today’s technonolgy we make hundreds of choices per day, many times per hour. Do I reply to that email/text or just let it go; How do I respond to the irate customer who is being completely unreasonable; to how do I react to my spouce right NOW!

Our choices really do affect our quality of life. 

Are you reacting or responding?

You ask what is the difference?  I’ll give an illustration. If you were very sick and you went to the doctor; he then diagnosed you and gave you a very high powered medicine. After several days you went back to the doctors office for a follow up, which one of these phrases would you rather hear him say?

1) Your body is “REACTING” to the medicine and we have to take immediate action!  or

2) Your body is “RESPONDING” to the medicine beautifully.

You have a choice in every decision and situation you encounter, React or Respond. It’s your choice! No one can (or will) make that choice for you, it is completely up to you if you live your life reacting or responding, choosing to be positive and learn from setbacks or negatively beating your self up-(and everyone else around you) for what has happened to you.

Here is a great story that I believe exemplifies the essence of responding with a positive attitude, no matter what the circumstances:

John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, ‘If I were any better, I would be twins!’  

He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, ‘I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?’
He replied, ‘Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or … you can choose to be in a bad mood .

IN today’s fast paced, drive through world we have express everything. Fast food, drive through coffee, drive through marriages and even speed dating to take the wait out of courtship. Most people text instead of having conversations, email co-worker instead of walking to the next office and having a face to face encounter. Understand that I am not anti technology, I have a crackberry (or a phone like one) I obviously have a computer, and am semi educated in how to use it and I am one of the worlds best text masters. I eat fast food on occasion and yes have driven through to get a coffee.

But all of this lack of human interaction has created a void in our lives. A void that life coaching fills perfectly. Human interaction (even on a phone session) with another live human being, who’s sole focus during that time is helping you to achieve the very maximum level of life purpose and life experience possable. This appeals to many, many people.

Really, where else can you talk to someone who is focused on your future and the purpose you were created to fulfil during your life here on earth. And where can you focus all of this energy and determination in a productive and positive direction, in the direction of your ultimate purpose?

Sound too good to be true?                   It is what I do most of each day! 

Focusing on your future, designing a plan to achieve your purpose and fulfilling your destiny, that is as anti “drive through-quick fix” as it gets, and for good reason. 

Question: What is the persons name that works the drive through at you local McDonald’s, or the fast food restaurant you frequent most?  Hmmmm, can’t remember?…the person is different every time you go?…..or maybe you say “who cares?”…and that would be my point exactly!!

You do not have a meaningful long lasting relationship with the drive through person (if you do, you need therapy), and guess what…the drive through person cares about as little about you.

But focusing on your purpose is not the drive through persons purpose,  its mine. My purpose is to help you find yours, and that is why it takes someone who genuinely cares about your future, your destiny, your purpose to work with you in designing the journey of your life.

You get one shot at what you were put here to achieve…why would you guess your way through it?

Until next time…

Life Coaching is for people that are ready to create a remarkable life for themselves. Sure you may be successful already, possably increadibally successful, but what good is the corner office, making a lot of money, or sitting on the boards of numerous organizations if it doesn’t really make you happy or - even worse, it is making you miserable.
A life coach is skilled in helping you to make radical as well as subtle improvements in your life. If things are pretty good, but you want them to be great…Coaching is for you!

You say, “but I don’t need a coach, I’ve gotten this far without one”. I have one question for you, How’s that working out for you? Are you where you thought you would be at this point in your life? Really? Do you wake up every morning with increadible anticipation to face the day? Excited about what you do and who you chose to do life with? Or, do you wake up every morning, or even some mornings, dreading to have to “do it all over again”?

If Michael Jordan had a head coach, a shooting coach and a strength coach; if Tiger Woods has a swing coach; if Kristi Yamaguchi has several coaches and all top elite athletes have coaches, why would you even think of walking through the most important events of your earthy existance (your life!) without one?

A Life Coach is not a therapist…much more than a consultant… and not just a friend: Your Life Coach is your personal expert to help you realize your full potential! Don’t you deserve to have an expert committed to your success? Again, its your life, who should be more dedicated to improving it and making it its fullest than you.
Anything you can do, you can do it faster, you can do it better, and you can do it more effectively with a coach!

Success, at its foundation, means being your best, most authentic self, living with integrity, doing work/activities that you love, being healthy, having financial freedom, and living in happiness and enjoying loving relationships. Whether you want help achieving a specific goal, finding a career direction, or buffing up your entire life, as your Life Coach we will work together to get there faster.
